Writing an award application for the Vice-Chancellor’s Learning and Teaching Awards requires planning and reflection. Keep in mind that awards are competitive, so it is important to:

• Read the award guidelines and related information carefully;
• Consult your Deputy Dean/Associate Dean/Director or equivalent prior to commencing an application to confirm their support;
• Consider the appropriate category for your application; and
• Gather your evidence and align this with the criteria in the relevant category.

Further information and resources can be found on the Writing an award application webpage.
